    The challenge is to have a buck down by Halloween days end. At that point, if you do not have a buck down, you begin your challenge. Mine is the Fu-Manchu. I will do it.

    The beard has been growing for weeks--my fu-manchu is going to look ridiculous if I don't have a buck down. I am hunting on Oct 29th, 30th, and 31st!

    I can almost guarantee I won't have a buck down by Halloween, hows that for confidence? :D

    I've already one upped the competition by no longer shaving starting about a week ago. I'll likely trim around halloween to start over, cause I can't look like a hermit walking around campus.

    I did not get in on it here, but my wife challenged me not to shave until I get a deer on the ground. I have not completely shaved since Sept. 25th, just the minor straightening out here and there.

    I haven't shaved for a month..

    mostly because I look like a stud, and because I'm lazy

    I probably won't have one by then either, would be nice, but I'm not expecting it. I'll give a solid try, but until then I'll just quite shaving for now. Maybe I'll make some sort of facial hair sculpture before I shave it all off (just long enough for one pic).

    You guys didn't have chipmunk cheeks to deal with before growing out your facial hair...add hair to the mix and I now look like I just had my wisdom teeth cut out. :D
